Samusocial protests closure of Brussels WTC reception center amid 1,000-place cut

Samusocial will close its WTC reception center in Brussels at end of September, a direct result of the 'Brussels Deal' eliminating 1,000 shelter places. The closure removes 130 operational places for single men under the Grand Froid Plan, reducing capacity for homeless populations. This signals a policy shift in Brussels' winter shelter strategy, potentially increasing strain on remaining services.
